The dreaded religion conversation

[Wcbrown514]

Now was it a waste of typing because you were wrong or because you think I am close minded because I asure I am not as close minded as you think.

religion causes wars D:

im tottaly well. i dont know what its called.

i belive in science.

i hate religion. sorta.
im not a hater of people with religion. lol dont get me wrong

all my friends have different religions

its just...

people fight over the a big invisible man who no-one has seen in the sky.

just sounds daft to me.

im good at science and after learning it.
i could never be a religion that belives in something in the sky.

anyone heard of the religion 'jedi'

i allways put that if anyone asks / have to write down. my religion

its a cool religion

I looked into Jediism for a while (yes, it is a real religion that is recognized by governments and everything... hell they can perform marriages)... and it does seem very interesting, but I couldn't really get into it.

The Jediism Website

It pretty much takes jedi teachings from the movie and religious ideas from eastern religions and combines them. Like I said, it's interesting and made me think, but not for me.

it was made, in england ( i think ).

im guessing you know what a cencus is.

were you have to fill in details about yourself.

well years back. some people wanted to piss off the goverment.
if you get more then 20,000 people to agree with a religion.
well it becomes a religion.

they sent out 10's of thousands of emails to people
infact my maths teacher was one of the people fill in. agreeing with it.

so yer. it was made as a joke. but some people do take it seriously.
theres 2 sides to it.

I just think that the christian idea of a magical giant dude liveng in a mythical parallell dimension they call heaven and no 1 has seen him since the bible was written and they believe that som make believe dude they've never seen ever can heal people and even walk on water. OK THINK ABOUT THIS PEOPLE! What if some1 wrote a bible about how superman saved the world and they were a dictator and put u at gunpoint and said u will beleive this or u will die! YOU hav 2 choices and all the young children would grow up unquestioning and beleiving it and never knowing the truth and the dictators wud kill all the people hoo knew hoo superman was in real life. That is wat that the romans did with christianity and then they killed all the people hoo kneww wat it really was. But they used swords instead of guns of course! Just think about it the bible basicly says that in the begining of time sum entity just said poof all of this crap is just gonna be here for my amusement ! Well not exactly like that cuz they didnt make a point about it for his amusement tho! But tell me if u agree in any way or not cuz i wanna know wat other people than me think cuz im bored!
